The correct answer is D. Read, File Scan. In Novell NetWare, the [Public] trustee is assigned Read and File Scan rights to SYS:\PUBLIC by default, so all authenticated users automatically receive those two rights to that directory.

  • DRead, File Scan
  • ERead, Write, Create
  • FWrite, Create, Erase

Why each option

In Novell NetWare, the [Public] trustee is assigned Read and File Scan rights to SYS:\PUBLIC by default, so all authenticated users automatically receive those two rights to that directory.

ARead

Read alone is not the complete default because File Scan is also granted via the [Public] trustee assignment to SYS:\PUBLIC.

BSupervisor

Supervisor rights are not granted by default to SYS:\PUBLIC for ordinary authenticated users.

CRead, Write

Read and Write is not the default assignment; Write would allow users to place or overwrite files in SYS:\PUBLIC, which is not the intended default.

DRead, File ScanCorrect

NetWare automatically assigns the [Public] trustee Read and File Scan rights to the SYS:\PUBLIC directory so that all network users can browse and execute the public utilities stored there. Because JJenkins is an authenticated user object, he inherits these [Public] trustee rights and has exactly Read and File Scan access to SYS:\PUBLIC regardless of his container location.

ERead, Write, Create

Read, Write, and Create exceed the [Public] trustee default; Write and Create are not granted by default to SYS:\PUBLIC.

FWrite, Create, Erase

Write, Create, and Erase are not granted by default and would allow unintended modification or deletion of public utilities.

GRead, Erase, File Scan

Erase is not included in the [Public] trustee default assignment to SYS:\PUBLIC.

HRead, Write, Create, Erase

Read, Write, Create, and Erase represent elevated rights that are never part of the default [Public] trustee assignment for SYS:\PUBLIC.

IRead, Write, Create, Erase, Modify

This set adds Modify on top of already excessive rights; none of Write, Create, Erase, or Modify are in the default [Public] trustee assignment.

JJenkins has no rights to SYS:\PUBLIC.

JJenkins does have rights to SYS:\PUBLIC by virtue of the [Public] trustee assignment that applies to all network users by default.
